The Virtual Power Plant

for direct marketing, remote control and balancing energy

With our Virtual Power Plant, we offer an all-round, carefree package that supports VHPready and other common interfaces for connecting decentralized power generators and controllable loads.It enables a fast and reliable power trading in renewable energies and decentralized power generating systems in the intraday, spot and balancing energy markets. The Virtual Power Plant can be optimally implemented for direct marketing of wind and solar power, including remote controlling, as well as the marketing of balancing energy of decentralized power systems. Being a software-as-a-service solution, there is no need to create your own infrastructure, as energy & meteo systems takes care of the hotline and 24/7 operations.

Key Technology for the „Energiewende" (Energy Transition)

The Virtual Power Plant is a modularly designed software suite which effectively connects, coordinates and monitors decentralized power-generating sites, storage facilities and controllable loads via a common intelligent control center. In doing so, it can act within various energy markets as would a conventional power plant. the Virtual Power Plant offers a broad variety of services to power plant operators, industrial enterprises, public services, electricity suppliers, power brokers and grid operators.

Supply of Balancing Energy and Ancillary Services

As a central marketing and control software, the Virtual Power Plant supports the supplier in the entire value chain of the balancing energy market, starting with the modelling of technical systems, including provision of prequalification documents and a web portal for communication with the plant operators, over the subsequent balancing group management to revenue accounting.

The comprehensive control system also includes the complete communication technology with the transmission system operators and the technical plants, all connections meet the very high safety requirements respectively exceed. In view of the trend to economically integrate smaller and smaller decentralized systems into the Virtual Power Plant and thus to enable participation in the reserve markets, all processes are designed for a high number of plants.
